Andersen and Fagerhaug (2006:12) define root cause analysis as “a structured investigation that aims to identify the true cause of a problem and the actions necessary to eliminate it”. This definition is supported by Paradies and Unger (2000:318).
The purpose of this article is to explore the dynamics of root cause analysis (RCA) and the applicability of the ‘5W + 1H’ (what, why, when where, who, how) technique, which is used by many managers in understanding a problem to define the root cause.
Root cause analysis (RCA) is a process used by hospitals in an attempt to reduce adverse event rates; however, the outputs of this process have not been well studied in healthcare. This study aimed to examine the types of solutions proposed in RCAs over an 8-year period at a major academic medical institution.
